To high-end defense attorney Henry Garrison, Win Hughes is a woman he met during one of the most trying times of his life. She's soft and warm, and he finds solace in their brief relationship. But Win has a secret. She's actually Taylor Winston-Hughes--born to one of the wealthiest families in the country, orphaned as a child by a tragic accident.

As the case takes a wild turn and Win's entire life is upended, she must look to the people she's closest to in order to find a killer. And Henry must decide between making his case and saving the woman he loves...

There are a few times that a book is read that leaves me speechless at the end. This was one of those books. I was hooked from the beginning, trying to figure out what would happen next, what kind of turn was coming, and who really did it. To say I was on the edge of my seat is an understatement. The characters where so life like.
Henry was an a$$, but we have seen it before. The man fighting the love he obviously has for his woman. Win, a strong woman who know who she wants. sidelined by a little murder.. I loved how Henry gives in and the Monster of Manhattan does something he never does. Ask if his client did it. The end is oh so sweet, and also a very hard fought for HEA.
